Quickie Update
[UPDATE] Posts added all the way back to Moscow. You may need a coffee to get through them 🙂
In our haste to leave Moscow we did not update. We are on the Trans-Siberian. Beijing on the 18th. Do not expect decent internet until them. Am posting very quickly using an expensive cell connection at a station in the middle of nowhere ! Thanks for all the comments. Will read them all and post all the updates as soon as possible.
Hi V and Simon, good to hear that you’re enjoying yourselves. Same old situation here, working too many hours. I’ve reduced the number of items in the shop as a large number had no sales after 2-3 months. Ridiculous eBay charges to boot.
No sign of me having a break yet. I’ll need to close the shop completely this time when I go away. Last time I just suspended it and so I still have to pay all the fees! ouch!
Take care.
Steve.
Thank you for the update.
Previous Co-ords placed you in what looked like concrete barracks.
Your last co-ords placed you in a valley near a lake – no roads shown- and miles from the nearest railway – thought I had made a mistake. Google Earth had some very impressive picture of the area.
Hope that you are getting enough to eat and the likeness with Russians is not due to starvation!
Hear from you
Love Mum and Dad
